About

The Native American Music Awards & Association is the World's Leading Resource for Contemporary and Traditional Native American Music Initiatives consisting of over 20,000 registered voting members and professionals in the field of Native American music. We hold the largest Native American Music archive featuring a collection of over 10,000 audio and video recordings in all formats housed since 1990.

The Annual Native American Music Awards continues to proudly honor the outstanding musical achievements of Native American artists from across the country in over 30 Awards categories. Since our inception in 1998, NAMA continues to honor our songmakers, foster pride, provide national exposure and celebrate their gift of music with others around the world.

It has been our personal and volunteer contributions, not to mention, our determination and dedication, that continually creates this magical evening of pride and musical excellence. None of this would be possible if not for our tireless volunteer staff, our national membership
and the support of our donors.
